9am in Goodman C. 

This time is subject to change. The intent is to come early to practice before the canyon party, so the start time will be 2 hours before the party committee needs to set up :)

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF PRACTICE!

These practice sessions are to set you up for success when coming into the course. The more proficient you are at the entrance assessment skills, the easier the course will be for you.

Please notify the instructors if you are on the roster and need to cancel.
